Two hat day, similar, but each with their own story. My humble addition to the fabulous Lee hats that have been featured here are these Back Bows from the late 1950s. I figure they both are about as old as I am. I can go with that. The brown Lee "Jet" is c1957 based on ads. The grey one is a "Smartlee" which can be dated to 1955 based on provenance from the seller. It first appears in an advertisement in that year as a "new" look and style...

C1957 Lee "Jet" Typical name for this period.

1955 Smartlee back bow. Bought by a newlywed on their honeymoon, much to the wife's displeasure as the story goes...

Debut of Blue-riginal #7
Specs -- Vintage felt (I think this is the only way I'm gonna go from now on), antique cotton/rayon ribbons, sweat and liner courtesy of @bond. 5.5" open crown, 2.25" brim, shark-gill pleats:

Beautiful job.

1953 Lee advertisement, featuring their factory crease. The Smartlee is mentioned in the text, but hard to read. If I find this ad again, I'll buy it.

Going out tonight under the late 19th to early 20th c. Dunlap derby with the vents.

Have a good evening, folks.

Pristine old Derby Matt. Looks good on you.

It's a Buckaroo Hatters. It was not custom made for me and I got it second hand from a lounger.
The previous owner said me he got it off the shelf, if I remember right, it was a hat custom made to someone that did not went back to get it.
I got it only because I wanted a Buckaroo Hatters hat one and the price was good.
I wish it had a higher crown but I do not regret getting it, it's well made, I do like the color combo of the felt+ribbon+bound edge and it have a 4" brim.

It looks great!

That's a nice pair of back bow Lees there. Great stories to go with them.

Thanks DH. Happy to entertain.

Thanks Red. The Navy had some nice coats. And they seem to be in the same Mirtillo as the Borsalino.

Thanks all,
Michael

Great hat and great 3 piece D. These short days make it tough to fit in natural light photos.

Vita-Felt Stetsonian on this lovely Friday morning.

It was made in 1946, the same year my dad was born. So, in celebration of my dear, old dad, I'm also wearing the jacket he painted for me back when I was teenage Dead freak.

The nostalgia reminds me that "All the years combine. They melt into a dream..."
